Devil’s Workshop Interview **

The other day I was in my room extremely busy doing…err..really nothing when I suddenly heard someone knock my door. I went and opened it and to my astonishment found this girl looking as hot as a girl can get. For a moment I thought “A girl!!!!!!! In my room!!!!!!!”. The first thought that struck my mind was “Is she here for some kinda sting operation that generally good looking girls do to trap celebs?” Then I thought no.. I am not a politician,neither am I a film star (like shakti kapoor or aman verma if you know what I mean). She then told that she was here to take my interview. Is she out of her mind? She then told me that it is customary to take the interviews of people who have an account with blogger.Then I again looked at the girl just to see if I could get any second opinions about her. I definitely had. She was beautiful I agree but not so beautiful that she could be a part of some sting operation . yeah with her looks all she would get is an interview with me and nothing more , I thought.

Excerpts from the interview ::

Why Blog?

I found many of my friends blogging and for a moment thought why should’nt I blog. Currently blogger is giving out accounts for free. What if overnight they decide to make it paid? Then I’ll lose the once-in-a-lifetime chance of bugging others for free.One of my friends ( who has been blogging for a long time and whose name I would rather not reveal) even said that its more fun blogging than reading others blogs. Yeah its fun for the blogger but God save the poor souls of the readers , I thought.

Why blogger.com?

I saw this question coming. Many of my frens use blogger.Now that did not make me opt for blogger when I can get free accounts from others like livejournal etc. But I frequently go through many blogs in blogger.com which made me rather familiar with the interface.

Who does this blog target?

There are many bloggers out there who have a drive to blog but I should admit their blogs suck. So this blog is targeted to bloggers who feel that their blogs suck. Just to get rid of that feeling , all they have to do is visit my blog and then they’ll feel yes there is some one whoz blog sucks more than their blog and go back to blog the same crap they usually do but with a renewed enthusiasm.

Why A-z in the first post?


I started learning English with its alphabet. So I thought its not a bad idea to start my blogging with the same. The other reason being that all my future posts are a mere permutation and combination of my first post.

All the purists reading this must be thinking about the punctuation marks but plz excuse me for this time.

You published you first post on March 20th and the second on April 5th. Whats the reason for this delay?

The main reason is I did not have anything to write. So my second post took a long time to be published. But if you ask me of all the days why April 5th then I’ll say today is the birthday of one of my best friends. She has shown me a new way to look at life.It is because of her that I have many moments in my life today that I cherish and will do so till the end of my life. Here I am wishing her “ A Very Happy Birthday”.

Interesting. So, would you like to dedicate this blog or post to that someone special?

Yeah I dedicate this blog to my family members and this post to that special girl.

While I was answering this question I was reminded of the request-a-song shows that are all pervading. Had the same question (reg dedicating this blog) been asked to one of those jobless callers their answer would have been something like this.

I would like to dedicate this song( here blog) to you ( actually the anchor of the show but here the interviewer) and my friends chinna, munna, bunty, bubbly ,bangaaram,veerabhadra,my mother-in-law,my uncle’s nephew’s friend’s wife’s first son’s girl friend and the list goes on like this.

Tell me something about your blog.

Right now I am afraid I can’t tell you about my bolg. Not that it is confidential or something similar but that I myself have no clue as to when my next post will be and also what will it be about.

This time I was reminded of the film stars. Had this question been asked to them their answer would have been something like this.

Haaaaahahahah ( an affected smile with approx 1Kg lipstick on each lip and pulling her hair behind her ears) This is a completely different kind of a movie (here blog) pulling her hair behind her ears again.It is very different from all the movies (again blogs) i have acted. pulling her hair behind her ears yet again.I always wanted to blog in blogger and yes this is a dream come true. Haahhaahha (that affected smile again and pulling her hair behind her ears for the 100th time in span of 2 minutes.

While this is what they say what the actually feel about the movie is something like this.

What crap?? Does anyone call this a movie? Oh God! Of all the directors it has to be Karan Johar, who looks and acts like a gay.Yeah just take a look at his show Koffee with Karan.How he hugs his male guests as though he wants to get the most of the hug that lasts for all of 3 seconds. Where as any man would have done the same with the female guests ( atleast I would) and of all the heroes it has to be Shah Rukh Khan. The perfect partner (pun intended) to Karan Johar. That very hero who endorses a feminine soap(Lux) with rose petals in a bath tub surrounded by heroines who would look better inside that tub rather than standing out side.Gosh! where have I landed up?


Interviewer :: Congratulations. All the best. Happy blogging.

Me:: Thank You.


Just as I shook hands with her I heard my cell phone ring.I picked up the phone and then I realized …. That it was not ringing rather it was the alarm and all that just happened was nothing but a dream a distant one in that.
